Definitions
- the present invention relates to the detection, by eddy currents, of typical faults on a moving product, relative with a detector, and more particularly the detection of cracks on a slab or similar product.
- the component of the collected signal obtained by projection according to the determined phase angle is converted into digital form with a sampling frequency subject to the running speed of the product.
- a device comprising: means for generating an alternating magnetic field in order to cause the circulation of eddy currents on the surface of the product; a differential sensor intended to collect a signal representative of the variations of the eddy currents; and means for demodulating the signal collected by projection according to an adjustable phase angle to detect the disturbances introduced by the faults to be detected, device comprising in addition:
- the output signal of the amplifier 16 is demodulated in phase and in quadrature by means of a demodulation circuit 17 receiving this differential signal as well as, on the one hand, the output signal of the generator 15 and, on the other hand , this mime output signal 90 ° out of phase.
- the demodulated signals at the output of circuit 17 are processed in two parallel channels each comprising a first amplification stage 18x, 18y, a circuit 19x, 19y for compensating for zero offset and a second amplification stage 20x, 20y to adjustable gain.
- the correlation function used is for example of the forma:
- n being the number of points of the reference signal, a i the coefficient associated with the i th point of the reference signal and y ' j -i the numerical value of the (ji) th sample of a population of n points of the signal Y' digitized.
- the value of n can be chosen equal to 20.
- the correlation is carried out by the microprocessor circuit 22 in which the coefficients a i have been pre-recorded from measurements carried out by means of the detection device used.
- a new value of the correlation function Z is calculated with each new sample y ' j of the digitized component Y', and is compared by the microprocessor circuit 22 with a predetermined threshold value ZO. When this threshold value is exceeded, the circuit 22 commands the emission of a signal sd indicating the detection of a crack on the slab.

Abstract
Un champ magnétique alternatif est engendré pour provoquer la circulation de courants de Foucault à la surface du produit (B) en défilement relatif avec un détecteur, un signal représentatif des variations des courants de Foucault est recueilli au moyen d'un capteur différentiel (11, 12) et est démodulé par projection suivant un angle de phase réglable pour détecter les perturbations introduites par les défauts à détecter, cet angle de phase (a) étant déterminé de manière que la projection du signal recueilli ait une valeur moyenne minimale, afin d'éliminer des perturbations du signal recueilli dues à des irrégularités de surface répétitives; la composante (Y') du signal recueilli obtenue par ladite projection est convertie sous forme numérique; le signal numérique ainsi obtenu est filtré au moyen d'un filtre numérique dont les caractéristiques sont prédéterminées en fonction d'un type de défaut à détecter; et un signal de détection de défaut est émis lorsque le signal de sortie du filtre numérique dépasse un seuil prédéterminé.An alternating magnetic field is generated to cause the circulation of eddy currents on the surface of the product (B) in relative movement with a detector, a signal representative of the eddy current variations is collected by means of a differential sensor (11, 12) and is demodulated by projection according to an adjustable phase angle to detect the disturbances introduced by the faults to be detected, this phase angle (a) being determined so that the projection of the collected signal has a minimum mean value, in order to eliminating disturbances in the collected signal due to repetitive surface irregularities; the component (Y ') of the collected signal obtained by said projection is converted into digital form; the digital signal thus obtained is filtered by means of a digital filter whose characteristics are predetermined as a function of a type of fault to be detected; and a fault detection signal is output when the digital filter output signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.
